Nevada’s state Scenic Byway program was established by the Nevada Legislature in 1983. Six of the state scenic byways are also part of the National Scenic Byway system. The Nevada Department of Transportation is the primary agency responsible for the state program, and its director has the authority to add new byways into the system.

However, at this time there is no mechanism in place for Nevada citizens to nominate new Scenic Byways.
